INTRODUCTORY 
(Reprinted from Part I) 


It seems almost unnecessary in addressing arms collectors to say much 
in praise or description of the very valuable and unusual collection of 
firearms and kindred weapons, gathered by Mr. Fred E. Hines of Dorchester, 
Mass. To such it has been for some years well known as one of the finest 
in the United States. 


Few collectors have devoted the time,—to say nothing of the expense,— 
that Mr. Hines has to this subject, and, as a result, his collection is sur- 
passed by few as to number and general excellence, and by none in point 
of condition. 


Sparing no expense in obtaining the finest and rarest specimens, it 
abounds in beautiful and scarce examples of the gunmaker’s art. Beside 
pieces bought at all the auction sales of the past ten years and of many 
dealers, private collectors and others, it comprises and includes the majority 
of the well-known collection of the late Frank Sibley of Boston, many 
from the famous assortment of the late Charles M. Schott, Jr., of New York, 
and a vast number brought to this country for Mr. Hines by that well-known 
dealer and connoisseur, Mr. Sumner Healey of New York City. From such 
sources what could one expect but the very best obtainable or imaginable. 
They include practically every known piece and kind, from the various cross- 
bows and the European match lock gun of the Fifteenth Century down to 
the modern revolver and automatic of today. The list and descriptions speak 
for themselves. 


Few, if any, are the collections that can boast of ten snaphaunces,—real 
snaphaunces, with the sliding flash-pan cover and separate frizzen. Wheel- 
locks are as common as flint locks are in some collections. Multifiring 
weapons of all kinds and varieties are in abundance. The Martial Pistols 


of the United States Government have received special attention, and may 
be found in the greatest variety. Few collectors have gone as completely 
into Colt revolvers. From the Paterson-Colt Revolver and the famous 
Walker-Colt, so rare and dearly prized by all collectors, and of which 
there are several, there is every known kind and style of Colt, including 
a large number of presentation and other pieces, richly ornamented with 
gold and silver, and contained in their original cases, with their full equip- 
ment of accessories. 


But the most noticeable and remarkable features of this otherwise notable 
collection is the condition of every piece contained therein. Unless other- 
wise mentioned, each piece is in the condition usually catalogued as “very 
sood.” To accomplish this has meant the personal labor of years by 
their owner,—with results that could not have been attained with the expen- 
diture of any amount of money. The piece with “rusty” or “needing 
cleaning” has no place in this collection, and simply does not exist here. 


In this connection, there has never before been offered at any sale a 
collection of equal excellence, and there are apt to be very few, if any, 
in the future, as the collectors who devote the time and labor that Mr. 
Hines has are very scare, and seldom part with the result of such work 
this side of eternity.

Brookline, Mass., March 3, 1924. 


NOTE: There has always been considerable error in the use of the 
term “snaphaunce,” some writers of excellent reputation and great knowl- 
edge confounding the same with the type properly known as “Miguelet,” 
the latter being a flint lock with the main spring outside the lock plate and 
the scear stops protruding through the same. The distinguishing features 
of the “snaphaunce” proper, which immediately followed the wheelock 
and preceded the flint lock proper, are the Stminc FLasH-Pan Cover, 
similar to that of a wheelock, and a FRizzEN SEPARATE therefrom, cperat- 
ing on an arm on the side of the lock-plate. It was, as a matter of fact, 
made both with outside and inside main spring. Occupying only a brief 
and transitory period between the wheel and the flint proper (from 1585 
to 1640), it is, very naturally, by far the scarcest of any type of pistol or 
gun mechanism. In the past fifteen years but two examples thereof have 
been offered at public sale, to the knowledge of the writer. 


Sale Friday Morning and Afternoon, May 9, 1924 


Note by the Walpole Galleries 


(Reprinted from Part 1) 


We believe that widespread interest will greet the announce- 
ment of the dispersal of the extensive and well-chosen collection 
of Mr. Fred E. Hines of Dorchester, Mass. It is one of the most 
important that has ever passed through our hands. Mr. Hines’ 
policy of placing quality and condition above every other consid- 
eration, his refusal to place any specimen in his collection which 
he did not believe to be genuine, his reputation as a generous buyer, 
all have combined to form a collection of peculiar excellence, and 
we deem ourselves fortunate to have been selected by Mr. Hines 
as the agents for its dispersal. 

An examination of the catalogue, which was prepared for Mr. 
Hines by Mr. Lewis Appleton Barker, will convey even to the 
casual eye the many rare and interesting pieces it contains, as 
well as those corrertly described as “excessively rare,” “almost 
unknown,” etc. 

The sale was divided in two parts—a catalogue sold April 11, 
and the present one, of equal if not greater importance, for sale 
May 9. , 

Among the outstanding pieces in Part II are: Walker-Collt, 
Paterson-Colt, U. S. Martial Pistols, the genuine Snaphaunces with 
ihe sliding pan cover, Sixteenth Century Cross-bow, Scotch Powder 
Horn Set with silver and cairngorm, rare Harmonica and Organ 
Pistols, the “Duckfoot” pair of 4-bbl. Flint Pistols, Tomes’ 7-bbl. 
Pepperbox, Tiger Pistols, the Earl of Litchfield’s Silver-mounted 
Carriage Pistols (1794), Commodore Perry’s Duelling Pistols, 
unique Manton Percussion Pistol, Pairs by Manton and Bond, inlaid 
Wheelock Rifle with Ducal Arms, French Revolving four-shot Gun, 


Maynard Rifle and case, in new condition. 


Priced catalogues after the sale, $3.00.

Octagon barrel. Lock plate beautifully engraved, and ham- 
mer chiselled in form of a mermaid. Wheel entirely covered 
by plate. The enormous butt, 11 ins. long by 8 ins. wide, shows 
very handsome hand carving of animals in combat; also the

. GERMAN WHEELOCK RIFLE. L., 43 ins.; Bore, 34-in. 


Barrel is marked Abraham Dellemair, 1692. From one end 
to the other the stock is most beautifully inlaid with ivory in 
designs of running animals, castles, landscapes, etc. The crown- 
ing work of the inlay is on the reverse side of the butt, where 
there is a coat of arms (probably ducal) also in ivory. The 
lock plate is handsomely engraved and chiselled with a scene 
depicting mounted Knights in combat, apparently with Turks. 

Altogether, it is a veritable work of art and is one of the most inter- 


esting, as well as the most beautiful, pieces ever seen.
